Nestled among some of New Zealand's most spectacular scenery, the project will feature resource-efficient buildings that are designed, constructed and operated so that their impact on the environment is redacted. The design will reflect and celebrate the natural and cultural environment through green architecture, healthy construction materials and native landscape restoration, while including a creative element from New Zealand artists and craftspeople.
The goal is to create a comfortable and beautiful aesthetic experience, while integrating state-of-the-art technology that decreases water and energy demands. Visitors will experience first-hand how our sustainability solutions conserve resources. We hope visitors will be inspired to pursue similar conservation solutions in their own homes and communities.
